Hello Again,
Here we are another week, another topic. So this week I have been contemplating if or if not plagiarism is still an issue on college campus's or not. I have to say over all yes I think there are still issues with it. There are so many ways for a person to get information these days - internet, books, magazines, and the list goes on and on. But, what people who like to steal information think that because of the vast ways of getting information no one is going to figure it out.
I don't have many issues this because I am a person who reads so many different articles and sources before I actually begin writing. And while I might base my ideas off of what I am reading in one article - When my words get put on paper, I always read and re-read what I have written especially if I am being inspired by someone elses words.
The way that I protect myself is based off of a need for everything I write to sounds like me. I have a very specific voice, dialog and etc - I do not want someone to read my work and get a misconception of who I am. That always reminds me to make sure I credit where needed and let my voice drive the rest.
Till next week -
Meg
